Scott Bedgood
Content marketing that converts.
I'm a content marketer, author, and journalist who specializes in transforming content marketing programs at startups of all sizes. I can start from scratch or overhaul an existing content marketing operation.
I deliver results quickly, like a 220% increase in Google Organic clicks, a 30% month-over-month increase in traffic, and millions of dollars in earned media through specials campaigns.
I implement proven strategies and systems to create a content marketing engine that drives results and produces content at scale. At my last company I increased our content output from 1-2 blog articles per month to more than 20 per month, without making any additional hires or going over budget.
Testimonials
From the beginning, Scott impressed me with his willingness to take on any project we sent his way and to also come up with excellent ideas on his own. In addition to writing content, hosting and editing podcasts and brainstorming ideas, Scott managed a large team of freelance writers. Essentially, he was a Senior Editor, Managing Editor and Social Media Manager rolled into one. If you're looking for a smart, resourceful, jack-of-all-trades editor and writer, Scott Bedgood is your guy.
Jon Finkel
Publisher, National Football FoundationI had the privilege of being a part of Scott's content team at Wizehire. Scott has an incredible knack for bringing out the best in his team, fostering a creative and supportive environment that empowered us to increase content production and boost organic traffic. He is not just an editor but a mentor, consistently providing invaluable feedback. I wholeheartedly recommend Scott for his exceptional leadership, unwavering support, and major impact on our team.
Leighann Emo
Content Strategist, WizehireScott can quickly and skillfully integrate into your organization, has a broad and deep set of skills related to editorial writing, content development, and content marketing, and will be a rock upon which you can depend no matter what comes down the pike. Lot's of people say they're "self-starters" who can "handle multiple projects successfully" and "collaborate successfully within the organization"... with Scott, I can promise you you've actually found one.
John Zajac
Creative Director, IndyScott is a ridiculously hard worker, always open to take on any extra work regardless of the situation, and has an incredible knack for turning messages into compelling stories!
